Developmental hip displasia (DHD) still presents as an important problem in our country. Latency in diagnosis and inaccurate treatment causes seconder osteoarthritis in young adults and elder patients. Variable reconstructive surgical procedures as proximal femoral and acetabular osteotomies can be performed, but the most satisfactory functional results are achieved by total hip arthroplasty (THA). In this study, we analyzed the results of the cementless total hip arthroplasties performed in coxarthrosis secondary to developmental hip displasia. Between January 2006 and October 2009, 53 patients diagnosed with hip osteoarthritis secondary to DHD, whom performed 59 total hip arthroplasties in GATA Orthopaedics and Traumatology Clinic were included in the study. 10 of the patients were male (%19), and 43 of them were female (%81). Age of the patients varied between 29 and 78 years and the mean age was 48,7. In 23 patients (%44), THA procedure was performed at the right hip and in 24 patients (%45) at the left hip. 6 patients operadted bilaterally. All patients were followed up 8–38 months (mean 20, 6 months) with clinical and radiological evaluation. The hospitalization period varied between 7–14 days, mean 8,3 days. Posterolateral incision was used at all of the patients. Totally 10 (%17) complications were observed. 5 (%8,5) of them was intraoperative and 5(%8,5) was postoperative. Patients evaluated preoperatively and postoperatively with modified Harris Hip Score. While preoperative mean Harris score was 39,1, the postoperative mean score measured as 90,3. The results were excellent in 52 cases (%88,1), and very good in 7 cases (%11,9). Appropriate implementation of cementless total hip prosthesis in patients with hip osteoarthritis secondary to DHD, who have good bone quality and surgical indicaton; clinical and radiological short term results were satisfactory.
